Latest Patents

Zhao is credited with 1 patent: “Method and System for Characterizing Perforations in a Tubular.” The invention uses an acoustic imaging probe to transmit waves and collect reflections from a tubular. Image segments derived from the acoustic data are analyzed by trained neural networks to identify perforations and determine their locations. Another neural network can estimate perforation geometry, including size and contour points.

Career Highlights

Zhao’s patent describes an approach that combines acoustic imaging with machine-learning analysis to characterize perforations in tubular structures. This method can provide information about both where perforations occur and their geometric features.

Collaborations

Zhao is associated with Darkvision Technologies Inc. His listed coworkers include Sindhu Hari and Gaurav Handa.

Conclusion

Mengliu Zhao’s patent highlights the use of acoustic imaging and neural networks to locate and characterize perforations in tubular structures.
